It’s no secret—Lelo is known for its aesthetically beautiful sexual wellness gadgets that provide ethereal orgasms. Its sensual prowess is so powerful in fact that global superstars like Bad Bunny and Young Miko have shouted out the Swedish luxury brand in their lyrics. As a proud sex journalist, I was elated at the possibility of reviewing the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic ($244)—which is the brand’s newest launch. I was even more elated, though, to find out that this toy delivers a triple-blended orgasm that I’d never before experienced.
After spending a week and a half testing the toy, I have no choice but to deem this a sex toy in a category all its own. Keep reading to learn why.

What is the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic?
So what, exactly, distinguishes the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic from its predecessors? “Lelo designed the Double Sonic so that it can reach another area in addition to the clitoris and G-spot,” says sex educator, Cindy Luquin. “This is known as the A-spot, which is right behind the G-spot. It’s a sensitive area of tissue in the vagina, between the cervix and the bladder, that provides pleasure and increases vaginal lubrication.”
There aren’t tons of toys on the market that are designed to reach the A-spot, so the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic stands out in this regard. This is especially true for folks who haven’t experienced stimulation of the A-spot before—myself included.
My honest review
If you’re worried about getting sexy things in the mail, this toy comes in super discreet packaging. This is great for folks who don’t live alone or if you’re trying to surprise someone with this gift.
Now, on to the good stuff. Testing the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic got more tantalizing the more that I played with it. I’ve always been vocal about my preference for clitoral orgasm, skewing toward toys that provide clitoral stimulation. The Double Sonic checks this box, as it has an internal and external component. Even better, the external component provides suction (!!!).
This toy is admittedly a bit tricky to maneuver since it’s curved and a little bulky. However, when you use the proper amount of lube (a quarter-sized amount worked for me), you should be able to easily find your rhythm. Tbh, I felt like I was going to explode the more I got used to the sensation and the more that I increased the settings. At the risk of sharing too much information, I feared that I was going to pee or poop myself… When I ask Luquin why that could be, she gives me a clear-cut answer.
“Anatomically, the A-spot is a lot closer to the rectum and anus, and that is a much more sensitive area than your clitoris,” says the expert. An A-spot orgasm may very well feel different than a clitoral orgasm because the muscles there contract. “That’s the sensation you’re talking about: everything happening at the same time creates that more intense feeling.”
All in all, there aren’t enough good things for me to say about the Lelo Enigma Double Sonic. It’s gorgeous, efficient, rechargeable, waterproof, and provides blended orgasms that I’d never before experienced. Yes, there’s a luxury price tag attached to this toy. But believe me when I say: If I had the extra cash, I’d spend every penny knowing that I’m getting unlimited (and guaranteed) toe-curling orgasms. Since it’s more than $100 off for Black Friday, I recommend adding one to your pleasure chest ASAP. Buy yours here.
And when you do get one for yourself (which you totally should), Luquin has some pointers for how to use it:
1. Clean the toy
Since this vibe is likely a bit different than what you’re used to, I suggest building up the comfort to properly use it. You’ll want to start by cleaning the toy. After all, it’ll be in direct contact with some of the most sensitive parts of your body. To do this, you can gently scrub it with unscented Dial soap and run it under warm water or use a sex toy cleaner.
2. Assume the position
According to Luquin, there are several ways you can position yourself to get the most Os out of the Double Sonic. “You could lie on your back, slightly bending your knees towards your chest, and you can put a cushion underneath yourself,” says Luquin. Or you could always get on all fours and go with the tried-and-true doggy style. Either way, it’s important to choose something you’re comfortable with.
3. Make sure you use *plenty* of personal lubricant.
Luquin recommends always using lubricant, especially when trying new types of stimulation. “Going raw on skin can be really irritating, especially for sensitive areas in the vulva or in the anus as well,” says the sex educator. We suggest using a water-based lube as this toy is made of silicone and may not be compatible with silicone- or oil-based lubes. Once your vibe is lubed up, it’s crucial to take your time and let your body get used to the motions.
